THE ENCEss OF REVENUES.

On the 30th day OF June, 1859, the
excess Of revenues oveE public ex-
penditures. after Complying with the
annual requirement of the sinking
fund, was $17,659, 1854; during the
year ended June 80, 1886, such an
excess amounted to S49, ,402, ,545. 20,
and during the year ended June 80,
1887, it reached the sum of 500, ,567,-
849-54. The annual contribution to
the sinking fund during the three
years above specified, amounting in
the aggregate to 9138, ,058, ,320.94 and
deducted from the surplus as stated,
was made by calling in for that pur-
pose outstanding three per cent bonds
of the government. During the six
months prior to June 80, 1887, the
surplus had grown SO large by re-
peated accumnlations and it was
feared the withdrawal of this great
sum Of money needed by the
people would so effect the business
of the country that the sum of $79,,
864, 100 of such surplus was ap-
piled to the payment of the principal
and interest of the per cent bonds
still outstanding and which were
then payable at the option of the
government. The precarious condition
of financial affairs among the people
still needing relief, Immediately after
the Both day of June, 1887, the re-
mainder Of the 3 per cent bonds then
outstanding, amounting principal and
interest to the sum of, So S67, 5000
were called in and applied to the
sinking fund contribution for the
current fiscal year. Notwithstanding
these operations of the Treasury De-
partment representation of distress
in business circles not only continued
but increased, and absolute peril
seemed at hand. In these circnmstan-
ces the contribution to the sinking
fund for the current: fiscal year was
at once completed by the expenditure
of $27,684, 283,55 in the purchase of
government bonds not yet due bear
ing four ard four and half per cent
interest, the premium psid thereon
averaging about "a, per. cent. for the
former and eight per cent fof the lat
ter. In addition to this. the interest
accruing during the outstanding
bonded indebtennes of the govern
ment was to some extent anticipated
and the banks selected as deposito-
ries of public money were permitted
to somewhat increase their deposits.
While the expedients thus employed
to release to the people the money ly-
ing idle in the'treasury to avert i'm
mediate dangers our surplus revenues
have continued. to accumulate, the
excess for the present year amount
ing on the 1st day of December, to
500, ,258, ,T01.10, and estimated to
reach the sum of $I13, 900, 900 on the
3Oth day of June next, at which
date it is expected that this sum adj
ded to prior accommodations will swell
the surplus in the treasury to $140,-
100000. There seems to be no as
snrance that with such withdrawal
from use of the peoples circulating
medium our business community may
not in the near future be subjected
to the same distress which was quite
lately produced from the sans cause
and while the functions of our ma
tional treasury should be few and
should be simple. and while It's

Davie is Il small county, and as

strong in fertility of soil, and chival-
rous manhood. Deprived Of the ad-

lying quietly in the forks of the two
Yadkin rivers, our people have little
to talk about except the crops, inter
spersed with the usual neighborhood

who of late years has usually come
with the early frost is happily this
year conspicuously absent.
Our people with one accord are re-
joicing over the fine Autumn weather
and we farmers have taken advantage
of it in putting out good crop of
wheat.
Our people were so discouraged by
the low prices obtained for their last
years crop of tobacco, that they plant
ed practically none at all this year,
and hence fell into the common error
of doing everything or nothing. The
result of tn is mistake is that we have
less money than our neighbors, and
lIess than we have had for many, many
kyears. The small number of our far
I mers who planted tobacco this year

CLEVELAND'S MESSAGE.
i lLEAE EXPLANATION OF THE
TNTZIErF AND IT'S EVILS.

The Coasastad National Treasury.
Protection to American Labor. The
Wool Question. Sound Advice to
Congress.
You are confronted at the threshold
of your Legislative duties with con-
dition OF the national finances which
iInperatiyely demands Immediate and
careful consideration. The amount
of money annually eXaeted through
the operation of the present laws
from the industries and necessities of
the people largely exceeds the sum
necessary to meet the expenses of
government. When we consider that
the theory Of our institutions guar
antees 20 every citizen the full enjoy
munt OF all the fruit Of his industry
and enterprise with only such deduc-
ton as may be his share towards the
careful and economical maintenance
the government which protects him, it
is plain that the eXactiOn of more than
this IS indefensible exiortion and q
culpable betrayed Of American fair
ness and justice. This wrong in
flicted upon those WhO bear the bur
den of national taxation, like other
wrongs, muitiplies brood of evil
consequences. The public treasury,
which should only exist IS condnit,
conveying the peoples tribute to its
legitimate object Of expenditures, be-
comes . boarding place for money
needlessly withdrawn from trade and
the peoples use, thus crippling our
national energies, suspending coun-
try's development, preventing in
vestment in productive enterprises,
threatening financial disturbance and
schemes of public plunder.
This condition Of our treasury is
not entirely new, and it has more than
once OF late been submitted to the
peoples representative in the Cong
ress, who alone can apply q remedy,
and yet the situation still continues
with aggravated incidents more than
ever presaging financial CONFUSION
and widespread disaster. It viii
not do to neglect this situation be-
cause its dangers are not now palpa-
bly, imminent and apparent. They
exist none the less certainly and
await the unforeseen and unexpected
occasion when suddenly they will be
precipitated upon.us.
